The Six Lamps: Secret Dzogchen Instructions of the Bön

The Six Lamps: Secret Dzogchen Instructions of the Bön Tradition

Esteemed Tibetologist Jean-Luc Achard contextualizes and provides a clear translation of highly secret precepts on Dzogchen practice unlike anything published.Â

TheÂ Instructions on the Six LampsÂ is one of the root-texts of theÂ Zhangzhung NyengyÃ¼Â series of teachings. It is considered as the central work of the inner cycle of these teachings, mostly dealing with the principles of the natural state and its visionary marvels. The root-text describes highly secret precepts on Dzogchen practiceâ€”the teachings of TrekchÃ¶ and ThÃ¶gelâ€”as revealed by Tapihritsa to Gyerpung Nangzher LÃ¶po. The teachings in this text represent oral instructions transmitted by a single master to a single disciple in the mode known as â€œsingle transmission.â€Â It is through such a practice that one can contemplate the marvels of the Clear-Light of oneâ€™s own mind, before achieving the ultimate Fruit of Buddhahood. In this respect, the text contains a complete teaching of Dzogchen, from beginning to end.
